When we need a government we can trust more than ever, why is Washington still sounding the cry for more jobs? Things have improved since the recession ravaged the job market. Jobs are coming back. What isn’t coming back is something we lost during the recession that has nothing to do with the economy.
American Ideals and Values
Are Conservative Republicans Facing Disaster?
Will GOP victories in November turn out to be a disaster for conservative Republicans suddenly faced with having to accomplish something? Party leaders are on the hook for undoing presidential actions that are proving spectacularly difficult, if not impossible to get rid of.
Rewarding Criminals and Scorning the Will of the People
There is no better time to give up that dead end career wearing a paper hat and stuffing French fries in bags. Finally, criminals are going to be rewarded for making a worthwhile life choice. They won’t have to worry about the will of the people being heard in Washington and getting in the way of causing pain, property loss, suffering, and death.
Free Speech: How to Misuse it for Maximum Impact
Is political office the last bastion of free speech? Are Americans too naive to recognize the truth behind tacky, cheaply produced campaign ads and the inflammatory free speech they see on social media? Republicans and Democrats are equally guilty of the misuse of free speech on a level most citizens could never hope to accomplish, but only one side wants to elevate this fundamental right to a privilege.
Dignity is Important Because It’s Cheap and Easy to Sell
Dignity is easy for politicians to sell. From where they stand it doesn’t cost much. Dignity at the level they think we deserve is cheap. It’s not even their money they spend to buy it. It fits in well with the patronizing package of sanctimony that has been assaulting us from our radios, televisions, and mailboxes this campaign season.
Angry Americans Can Create Real Change
If you want to see how angry Americans create change, have a look at what’s happening in Murrieta, California. California may be the only state less likely than Barack Obama’s home state of Illinois to sprout grass roots protests against his immigration abuses.
Republican Hypocrites Include Conservative Voters?
We like to think that the GOP and conservatives are one, but there is a lot of ground between some of the Republican hypocrites calling the shots and the conservative voters they rely on. Eric Cantor just found out what happens when you step over the line.
